Some very frequently asked questions and solutions (slow network, can't connect, vpn)
There's currently a Decky plugin called TunnelDeck that makes installation of the OpenVPN client easier. It also seems to use systemd-sysext to install the networkmanager-openvpn as an overlay, so disabling read-only mode isn't necessary.

Disable bad audio device and reset crackling sound
Another issue I saw in 3.5 and before was crackling sound (in some games), after sleep/resume. I saw this in Elden Ring and couple of other games. Looks like resetting pipewire program seems to fix this issue. You may have to add a terminal program to steam, switch to "Nested Desktop" or use decky plugin to execute following bash commands.
